Truth & Reconciliation – Film and Public Talk: Rebirth of a Nation

Monday March 21 – 7:30 pmHUB Freeman AuditoriumFilm and Public Talk: Rebirth of a Nation

D.W. Griffith's 1915 film Birth of a Nation was an overtly racist story depicted in the Reconstruction-era South. Miller’s remix, Rebirth of a Nation, hurtles Griffith’s images into the twenty-first century, a sociopolitical landscape that has evolved beyond all expectations.

Join us for a screening of Rebirth of a Nation, followed by Q&A with DJSpooky. We'll be talking about racial imagery and cultural (mis)representation, the tools being used to re-imagine contemporary cinema, and the long history of black American remix culture.
